Lavender & Lemon
I LOVED how this cake came out. I got to hang out at my friend's cake studio (Sugar Pixy's studio "The Cake Studio (Cayman)" to do it and tried out her method of getting smooth sharp bc edges. It came out soo awesome! This cake was a lavender sponge cake with lemon cream filling, so I did the decor to go with the flavour of the cake by piping on lavender flowers and adding a lemon coloured bow.

Thanks so much Deah! I love a good Victorian sponge, but it has to be made properly and it has to be fresh as they tend to dry out easily. My sponge has only 5 ingredients in it - butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla and self-raising flour. For the lavender, I made my own lavender sugar over a year ago, and so the result is a delicate flower-y flavour. If i want an extra lavender kick, I add some crushed lavender blossoms. In other recipes that call for milk, I'll steam the milk with the lavender blossoms and allow it to cool so that the lavender flavour also is infused in the milk. Give it a try and let me know how it goes!

Very pretty, Faith. I'm not a sponge cake fan but I think you've inspired me to experiment with lavender.
